1.1. PREFACE:
The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund (PEEF) is an initiative of the Government of Punjab under the
leadership of Chief Minister Punjab Mr. Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif. To make it more efficient,
transparent and autonomous in its functioning, it is registered under section 42 of the Companies
Ordinance, 1984. The PEEF is established with the objective of providing scholarships to talented and
needy students to pursue quality education with equal opportunities.
The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund was initially established with seed money of Rs. 2 billion,
which has now been raised to Rs. 11 billion. Only investment proceeds out of this fund are utilized for the
award of scholarships.
This program under guidance of the Chief Minister Punjab/Chairman PEEF, Mr. Muhammad Shahbaz
Sharif is providing opportunities to the talented but needy students to fulfill their dreams and aspirations
and at the same time to become partner in the development and welfare of Pakistan.
Since its establishment, PEEF has awarded more than 60,000 scholarships worth Rs. 3 billion to
students of Punjab and other provinces. With the inclusion of current year’s (2014-15) scholarships; the
total number of awards will reach 80,000 (approx.) worth more than Rs. 4 billion.
1.2 SCHOLARSHIP CATEGORIES:
The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund (PEEF) scholarships have been classified into two major
categories:

CHAPTER 2
SCHOLARSHIP APPROACH & POLICY
GUIDELINES
10
___________________________________________________________________________________________
2.1 THE APPROACH:
PEEF has adopted a “Pro active Approach” for award of Outreach Scholarships to the talented and
deserving students. No advertisements are released to seek applications for outreach scholarships;
rather PEEF itself obtains data of meritorious students from Punjab Examination Commission (PEC), all
Board of Intermediate and Secondary Educations (BISEs) of Punjab and Federal Board of Intermediate
and Secondary Education (FBISE) and contact the eligible and meritorious students who have attained
top positions in their respective tehsils.
PEEF allocates scholarships to districts which are further divided equally amongst all tehsils of the
districts for award of scholarships at Secondary, Intermediate and Graduation levels. Separate tehsil wise
merits are worked out for each level (Secondary, Intermediate and Graduation), stream (Science, Arts)
and gender for award of scholarship. While nominations of students were received for Master Level,
COEs, Other Provinces and PBTE scholarships.
2.2 POLICY GUIDELINES:
Following POLICY GUIDELINES have been adopted while short listing and finalizing the scholarship
awards lists:
For ALL LEVELS AND CATEGORIES THE PRIORITY IS TO MAINTAIN GENDER RATIO (50% for
each gender) in the following order of priority:
-
-
 Tehsil
 District
 Division
 Province
If the allocated number of scholarships (all levels and categories) of a tehsil, stream, or gender are in
fractions, (3.2, 2.8, 4.5 etc.), the number will be rounded off to next (higher) digit from 0.5 onwards;
e.g. against 2.5 scholarships, 3 students will be awarded scholarships. All scholarship adjustments
will be made accordingly.
If only “1” scholarship is allocated to a certain stream/group, the scholarship will be awarded to the
student with highest marks; either male or female.
All the meritorious students having same marks will be awarded PEEF scholarships.
Special quota scholarships (SQS) will be awarded on the basis of district, gender & category wise
merits.
If any shortlisted student (Outreach Scholarship) is also eligible for SQS, he / she would be
considered eligible for both types of scholarships; giving first preference to the Outreach scholarship
and then to Special Quota Scholarships (SQS).
11
___________________________________________________________________________________________
-
Scholarships for the students of private affiliated institutions will be awarded on the basis of
district, educational group & gender wise merits.
 For scholarships at Graduation Level the student must have studied the Intermediate Level
education on scholarship / fee waiver / fee exemption awarded by the institution (the selected
student will provide proof of scholarship / fee waiver / fee exemption).
-
-
-
Scholarship will only be awarded to those students whose parents (father and / or mother); declared
income from all sources is as per PEEF income criteria. In addition the applicant will be required to
provide “Credible Evidence” of their income; i.e. Income Affidavit, Pay Slip/Salary certificate (where
applicable).Govt. Employees of grade 1-4, either serving or retired, are exempted from the condition
of monthly income criterion if salary/pension is their only source of income. However, if the total
income exceeds the income limit as set by PEEF with the addition of “income from other source”;
PEEF income criteria will be admissible.
In case of orphan, only the income of the mother shall be considered while determining the eligibility
for award of PEEF scholarship.
 Only students passing in the Annual examination are considered eligible for award of PEEF
Scholarship.
Marks improvers, repeaters and students having star (*) on their result cards are not eligible for all
levels and categories of PEEF scholarships.
Nominations of students for Master level, COEs, Other Provinces and PBTE scholarships will be
provided by the partner institution/province/office as per PEEF scholarship policy.
